My son looked at cars and was not hassled.
My son looked at cars and was not hassled. People answered questions for him. He bought a 2014 Kia FORTE 5 EX hatchback. Blue, ha is happy!
I bought my '04 Saturn Ion brand new.
I bought my '04 Saturn Ion brand new. It only had 2 miles on it when I drove it out of the showroom. It hit 430k 2 yrs. ago. I was hoping to get at least 500k out of it, but alas, my subframe is rusted. But that's due to winters in the Midwest. I never had any engine issues and the factory battery lasted 7 yrs. before it needed to be replaced. It never burned any oil and I religiously changed the oil every 3,000 miles. My baby got me safely home in the worst weather. Very low maintenance, great gas mileage. Oh! And the dashboard design! I loved not having the steering wheel in the way to check my gauges/speedometer. Just a quick glance with my eyes was all that was needed; didn't even have to turn my head. Everyone gave me sh** for having a little plastic car. (My daughter always said that I could whip Cheerios, not doughnuts!) But they all shut up when they saw how good a car it was. For being a little car, it still had plenty of room. I smoked a deer w/ my car 20 miles from home and even though it totally effed up my hood and headlights, but it Never. Stopped. Running. My husband thought I was gonna junk it. I looked at him and laughed. He underestimated the love I have for that car. It was well worth fixing it and I drove it for another 4 years. I wish with all my heart that they would bring them back and make them as good as they did.

Joe provides the Quality service you can count on with a smile you can trust. Many Thanks
Wonderful Safe Car.
I've owned two different Saturn Ions. The first one was a gift from aunt. She had bought the car brand new when it came out. I turned 17 and it was a graduation gift and she had got a new car. Drove that car for about 2 years and got into an accident that left the car totaled. I walked away from the accident scratch free. Got to love the built in roll cage in these cars. My second Saturn Ion was also a 2004 I had bought used with 115k miles for $1600 dollars. Drove it for 8 years with one pricey fix of the alternator. The rest was just routine oil changes, tires, and one set of shocks. 8 years that baby lasted me and I loved it. Drove it from Michigan down to Florida twice. Said goodbye at 220k miles. Amazing car.

I sent a msg about an Equinox they have listed. Someone from the dealership did message me back within a half hour. I had asked two questions which did not get answered when they replied. I was asked to call a specific person and then given the name & number to call.
